1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Background: Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is frequently associated with complications, extended hospital length of stay (LOS) and high health care related costs. We sought to determine predictors for hospital LOS and discharge disposition to a long-term care facility (LTCF) in aSAH patients. Methods: We performed a retrospective study of a prospectively collected cohort of consecutive patients with aSAH admitted to an academic referral center from 2016 to 2021. Multiple linear regression was performed to identify predictors for hospital LOS. We then created a 10-point scoring system to predict discharge disposition to a LTCF. Results: In a cohort of 318 patients with confirmed aSAH, mean age was 57 years (SD 13.7), 61% were female and 70% were white. Hospital LOS was longer for survivors (median 19 days, IQR 14-25) than for non-survivors (median 5 days, IQR 2-8; Conclusions: VPS requirement and aSAH related complications were associated with longer hospital LOS compared to other factors. LTCF score has high accuracy in predicting discharge disposition to a LTCF.
